+## Adjust deployment 
+
+### Number of gunicorn workers 
+The number of Gunicorn workers can be adjusted using the WORKERS environment variable.
+By default, the application starts with 4 workers. You can override this value during deployment:
+
+```docker-compose.yml
+services:
+  web:
+    image: registry.git.rwth-aachen.de/polaris/rights-engine/rights-engine:${POLARIS_VERSION}
+    ports:
+      - "80:80"
+    environment:
+      - WORKERS=10
+```
